Easy Choice Family Kai cookbook
A Love Food Hate Waste initiative, the Easy Choice Family Kai cookbook and menu planner helps families shop for and eat nourishing affordable food. And all the food bought for the week is used up, none ends up in the bin!
The seasonal cookbook provides plans for dinner meals with a budget of $60 for a family of six (two adults and four children under ten) or four adults. There's also tips to help you reduce food waste while cooking and preparing dinner.
